She said family members are flying into the area to be with the family and the boy's mother, who is devastated by the murder. "She's just not handling it at all," she said.

"She slept with his clothes last night. Her little girl is doing pretty good, considering that it happened right in front of her." Crime and PUBLIC SAFETY About 170 fire personnel from the High Desert, Riverside County and San Bernardino National Forest helped control the fires. A helicopter from Los Angeles County also assisted CDF because San Bernardino County's helicopters are helping battle the fires in San Diego County, Williams said. High humidity helped temper the potential hazard as firefighters worked to keep the fires from igniting homes less than one-quarter mile away. The main fire burned about 50 acres and the spot fires burned about five acres combined, Williams said.

Crews still were mopping up 12 hours after the initial call. Tips can be called in to CDF at (800) 472-2376.

Paul Cappi-telli said. Robert Xavier James was struck once in the head in an unprovoked attack by two men who would not let Robert's father, Travis James, pass their car.

Harms, a Hesperia resident, was pastor at a San Bernardino church when he volunteered to work with the inmates in 1983. Six years later, he quit the church to be one of two full-time chaplains at Glen Helen, Central Valley Detention Center in San Bernardino and West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cuca-monga. "It's not just a job to me. It's a calling," he said.

I wouldn't have volunteered all those years if I didn't believe in it." Ninety percent of the inmates are in jail for offenses directly or indirectly related to drug habits, Harms said. Most of the inmates he counseled are struggling with their addiction or are distraught over broken marriages, pending court dates and especially for female inmates the loss of their children. He acknowledges that many cling to "jailhouse religion" because they are desperate and cut off from friends, drugs, alcohol and sex. are our specialty!

To get away, the injured man jumped over a fence into the yard of Warm Springs Elementary School after the 7:30 p.m. shooting and stayed there until passersby helped him, Benge said.

Investigators still were trying to determine the motive behind the shooting, he said. No description of the man or the vehicle was available. Arson suspected in brush fires HESPERIA Authorities are searching for the person suspected of setting more than a dozen brush fires in a one-mile radius Saturday night near Arrowhead Lake Road and Welsh Lane.

For instance, he might treat a child molester differently because he has children and grandchildren of his own, he said. "I don't concern myself with that," Harms said. "If I am faithful to do what God wants me to do, he will be faithful in doing what only he can do, and that is changing the individual's life." Harms has been a spiritual guide to many and the past two weeks have been difficult as they've said their good-byes.

"God has a plan for us all, and that is why we are here: to get our heads together. And hopefully, when we get out, we will join a fellowship or church," said Tienstra, who was sitting at a picnic table following an hour-long Bible study with Harms.
